From: Prarit Bhargava on gitlab.com https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/1900#note_1012523331 @dzickusrh & I had a significant discussion about this MR and what the "right" thing to do is. There are several facets to this problem including what users should do to install packages, how they should know to install those packages, and how and when errors should be displayed. As a result of this conversation I am putting this MR back into draft for a major rework. I am going to update the documentation with instructions to run a new target dist-get-buildreqs that will output the set of build requirement rpms for the kernel. The documentation will include also include a statement that explains that the list of packages may or may not be necessary for all dist-* targets. In addition to that, I will rename the dist-buildreq-check to the previously mentioned dist-get-buildreqs, and add in a section to better explain the need for the system-sb-certs package. Instead of pointing everyone to a Red Hat Repository, I will point people to the CentOS Stream repository that contains the matching package. In this way we can then also include a URL to the repository. Users requiring the list of packages (automated builds, etc.) can then do something like: ``` make dist-get-buildreqs | grep "Please install:" | cut -d":" -f2- ``` or something similar to get the full list of required packages. The direct calling of dist-buildreq-check will be removed from the targets. It is expected that the above, once documented, should be sufficient for users to understand how to install the kernel-ark build requirements. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
